That the murderous spirit of the anar-
chists of this vicinity has not been sub
dued by the hanging of four of their
brethren in Chicseo yesterday morning
they took especial pains to declare last
night. A meeting of band OF them was
appointed to take place al the Labor
Lyceum, IN Myrtle street, near Myrtle
avenue, Brooklyn, at which Herr Most
was to speak, but when the crowd
assembled they found the door closed
in their faces and sentry there
who told them that the Board Of Direct.
ors had refused them the use of the hall
They had prop sed to hold an indigpa-
ton meeting over the hanging of their
brethren, as they delighted 10 term them,
and with any such sentiments the man
agement of the LYceum was not in SYM
patty. Pocketing their anger as best
they could, the mob turned down Myrtle
avenue to rhroop avenue and hence pro-
ceeded 70 W4lton street, where they
found I'D Kings hall unocc1pied.
This they took possession of, or so many
of them as could find entrance did, for
there were more of them than the hall
would contain Herr Most WAS too large
in his own estimation, for such hall,
and he said to them that when they could
secure hall fitted to his feelings and the
requirements OF such an occasion he
would speak to them. Then he took his
departure aud left the crowd more DIS
consulate and angry than before.
The meeting was organized, however,
with one Dung as chairman. Then the
fiery, untamed Oratory was turned loose
In the German vernacular. Several su
perheated speakers, feeling more keeDly
the slight to their feelings by being
turned from the doors Of the Labor Ly-
ceum, pitched ito the United LABOR
party In general and the managers of the
Lyceum in particular. Seven OF their
brethren had been condemned to an igDo
mInious death or imprisonment, in ODE
dience to The demsnd Of their sworn
enemies, capital aud it's subservient tool,
the capitslistic press. They had intended
to meet and express their 0athy With
the orphaned children and widowed wives
of their fallen comrades and their eternal
defiance OF the capitaliStic class at whose
demand the lives of their brethren hao
been sacrificed, and the doOl OF their
wonted place OF meeting mad been closed
in their facesi Such cowardice, such
heartlessness they could not permit to
pass unrebuked. They must demand a.
explanation and satisfaction. So COM
mittee was appointed to draw up resolu-
lions aud present them at an open meet
ing of the Labor Lyceum with demand
for an explanation.
0ne Alderman said that, in the hang
ing of their brethren, capital mad for tne
moment triumphed. In cold blood aDG
for crime OF which they were guiltless,
their comrades had been judlcially MUIR
dered. 1t should be their duty TO ayepge
the death OF their comrades. They mus
remember the orphaned children and
widowed wives and bring them sure ano
speedy retribution. The judge and jury,
the prosecuting Officers, and the sher #
and his deputles-eVery man who's
hands had been imbrued in the
rades should be marked for death,
And to this determination every ansrcn-
ist should pledge himself. II they were
not ready TO take this obligation upon
themselves they should retire into obIv-
ion and trsmple their red isg in the dust
This sp-sker,wes loudly applsuded.
Herr Eisman babe them consider the
history of their progress in America an
learn, il possible, lesson from thu
events of the day. The anarchists had
first intended to effect their ends, il pos
sible, by pesc fdl means, aud to that enc
had allied themselves with existing or
ganiz stions Of workipgmen. First they
mad tried the Knights of Labor. By these
their sentiments and p inciples w-re al
first received with sympathy, but the
cApitalistic press has made them the tar
get for their fire, and the Knights Of La
Dor in obedience to their masters, haC
turned them adritS. Then they tried tn,
Henry George party. This man had he'll
out to them in general terms hattering
hopes for the bettermeDt OF their conOl
ton, snd Dining in with him, they seem
ed to be on the high road to victory
But George, too, bowed before the decree
Of the cspitsistic press on the eve of
triumph split the rsnks OF labor
in twain By dlscsrding them. Thus their
labor for three years mad come to nausnt
In the meantime their Chicago brethren
had shown greater cunning and skill.
They had employed the only argumen'
before which capital could be made t.
cringe in coWsrdly subjectiou-the argu-
ment of arms! Loud applause greeteo
this period. But they had acted all to.
soon. Had they waited two years, or bu
year, the result would hav.
been far different. And he would

for the treason of Henry George and the
continued assaults Of the press, their
brethren had not died. From all this
they could learn this lesson: They saw
what hsvoc little bomb would do anc
they knew Whist terror the mere exist
ence Of such mbs Inspired. They should
arm themselves at once for revenge an
for every life sacrificed in Chicago take
TetributioD on q thousand capitalists.
Thus far the frenzy of the mad throne
had been conf led to red mouthirg
against Intangible and absent foes. Bu
the next orator, Franz Klein, happened to
espy pencil and note paper in the HANDS
of Times reporter, and him he construed
into tangible and visible and, in such
mob, defenseless enemy Fairly livid
with rage and passion, Klein declared
that the capitalistic press had brought
upon their martyred brethren their IN
timely doom, and here was one of theiI
hated representatives. The time and TIT
occasion were apt for 8 lesson. Their
meetings were invaded, and their doipgs
and sayings reported broadcast. Was il |
not time to administer lesson to thest |
reporters2 he did not know what paper |
